BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 1, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Kervin Road - Project Modification Recommendation
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: Three
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: In consideration of recent materials contracts being re-bid, staff
believes that this project could be improved by adding base material and asphalt millings to the
scope of the project. This will improve the function of the roadway, reduce maintenance costs
and improve water quality of the runoff from the roadway.
BACKGROUND: The Public Works Roads Division develops an annual 5-year Capital
Improvement Program Budget for roads in Okaloosa County. Funds were allocated for this
project based on a design concept and estimated materials cost for the project. Based on recent
bids received for base materials and asphalt millings, staff believes that significant improvements
can be made to the project for a modest increase in funds.
The original budget for the project was $100,000. Staff is recommending an increase in budget
to $117,000 (which includes a 10% contingency in this instance). Additional funds will be used
to incorporate a limestone base with asphalt millings in lieu of the previously planned clay
driving surface.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the modification to the project as
proposed.
